NBC decided to add time to its already extended opening ceremonies telecast. The binge now begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday locally on KUSA-Channel 9, and runs for four and a half hours (yes, 4.5 hrs!) until 11 p.m.

Stay hydrated.

Bob Costas and Matt Lauer will co-host the spectacle produced by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou, best known for “Raise the Red Lantern” (1991) and “House of Flying Daggers” (2004).
